Got the Adjustable Timing Control to work! Really cool! When car is warmed up, can adjust timing initially by
seeing how idle rpm is affected. Using say 1000 rpm idle, you then adjust the timing knob, and your distributor
position, accordingly. Goal is to get the timing control knob at about the center, on a dial that goes from 1 to 15,
and at the same time have your engine timing where you want it. Then as you drive, you can fine tune it to maximize
power, as long as you get no detonation. Every engine is unique as far as best timing setting. When you decrease the
dial setting number, you retard the engine timing. I can about guarantee you that every year your engine timing
will change on its own! And sometimes, you can get bad gas, and can dial back to prevent detonation. For $150, can't beat it!
But may need an MSD box to use it.
Dang misleading MSD instructions. Made me wast a lot of time. Instructions up front say you don't have to cut
a wire within the MSD timing adjusting unit, if you have a V8! Okay, I have a V8. Then later on in the fine print they say if you use a Mag pickup,
you have to cut a white wire! Well, the MSD distributor is a "mag pickup", so, upfront, they should say the white wire should be cut if installing
the timing unit in an MSD ignition system, with an MSD distributor!! Hope they read this! Made me waste two days trying to figure why
engine would turn over but not fire!!
